Hi
We live a long way from family so Christmas is a special event for the 4 (hopefully soon 5) of us. Breakfast first (cooked of course) then presents with taking turns so we can all ooh and aah over them. Hubby cooks the Big lunch with a variety - Duck, Ham and Pork, all our favourite veges (everyone is involved in the choosing beforehand), table is laid the day before so no work to do there and disposable roast pan as well. The girls have no alcoholic wine in plastic wine glasses, and we have champagne or similar. Dessert has been cooked in the weeks before (home made christmas pudding) trifle finished just before the meal and Christmas Cake if anyone wants it (cooked in September and left to age). We toast and say grace - music is usually only classical unless someone got a nice quiet CD for Christmas. And Magic Snow.......talcum powder throughout the house (everyone helps clean this up too!!)
Hope this is of interest (This is our form of the Aussie Christmas a la Far North Queensland!)
